TD Bank Financial Group

Investment will pay healthcare
dividends

Ophthalmologist Dr. Jorge Sahr and Clinical Nurse Specialist Christina
Clausen have been awarded fellowships by TD Bank Financial Group to advance
their education at McGill University. These are the first such TD Grants in
Medical Excellence that are being awarded to members of the JGH healthcare
staff—two per year for eight years. The one-year grants are intended to enhance
the quality of the clinical care that recipients will provide to patients. Dr.
Sahr is pursuing a one year retina fellowship, while Ms. Clausen is working
toward a Ph.D and is exploring nurse physician partnerships in the healthcare
setting.

“Investing in healthcare facilities and research, and providing
professional development opportunities are the keys to retaining and attracting
the best medical talent," Alain Thibault, Executive Vice-President, Insurance,
of the TD Bank Financial Group, said at a ceremony in the hospital on May 28.
“We should ensure that more of tomorrow's leaders in healthcare and
groundbreaking research will come from Canada."
